hear, hear!!  linux is *very* ready for the desktop.  I have also been 
using it for years, since gnome was just gn.   If there are problems with 
how things are working on yours, I would suggest 1) user error (in terms 
of not knowing how to configure it, and lack of a desire to learn)  and 2) 
old as the hills software.  

re: printer.  when was the last time *in windows* you could print from any 
application before adding it to the OS first?!?!?

pleh.
